Playing Catch Up

So my free time had decreased quite a bit now that school has started.
Blogging has been put on the back burner it seems like, because when I actually have time for fun, I chose to do something besides sit at my computer and blog, but here is what has been happening in my life...

Sept. 8- Me and Tyler celebrated our one year mark! We had tons of homework to do that night, so it really put a damper on things but we celebrated anyways. It was great. I attempted to finish a slide show with all our pictures on it for him, but it didn't get finished...and STILL is not finished. Sorry Tyler :( We didn't have a lot of time for fun, but we did go to dinner. We went to Chili's and Tyler got sick from it and hardly ate a thing, so that was a bummer, but we still had a good time. He also surprised me with flowers and the Nixon watch that I've been begging him for, for several months (he bought it back in May, but it needed a new battery). Once we got our homework done, we had lots of fun goofing around & taking funny pictures on my macbook.

(mine is the pink one, of course!)

My Flowers from Ty :)

I took them home the night I got them cuz I slept there and if I must say so, they looked way more cute in my PINK room at home, than they did at my apt.

Lately I have found interest in some of the most random things...like funny signs...funny moments...and so on...

Things that made my day last week:

I was in a bad mood walking in to school, wishing I was still in bed, and not happy that mornings are getting colder. Anyway, I see this kid out of the corner of my eye walking not to from about 2 seconds after I noticed him, I watched him biff it. Funniest thing of my life, because this was not just any normal fall. He ate it hard. So mean of me to find humor in this, but he seriously tripped over those wheel chair things people have on their cars to help the handicapped get from their wheel chair into their vehicle. Obviously he didn't see it, and whoops. Man down. Sad, that what makes my day probably ruined his, but how could I not laugh at this?

Last Thursday, I overslept and missed class. Tyler luckily is in my class & covered for me, in return I bought him Subway. When I went to pick it up, it was made clear to me that Subway & McDonalds are NOT friends. They had a sign posted that I found to be quite funny. I tried to take a picture of it, but I must not have saved it, because I can't find it on my phone. The sign said...

ATTENTION SUBWAY CUSTOMERS:

MCDONALDS has decided to tow any cars of Subway customers that park in their parking lot. We would like to apologize for MCDONALDS' actions and any inconvenience it may cause.

Talk about pointing fingers.

(This was me rephrasing it. Sorry, I promise the real sign was better.)

So, my parents good friends and neighbors of ours, have 3 VERY VERY cute little kids. Their work schedules overlap occasionally, and since my mom is home by herself during the day & since they are so cute, she gladly volunteered to watch them when their schedules conflict. I LOVE it when they come over and miss seeing them now that I no longer live at home. Last week though, I needed to go home for a bit so got to spend a few hours with their new baby who I'd never met. She is only a few months old and wasn't around the last time I was around when she was watching their kids, but she is so cute. She is such a little cutie, I couldn't get enough of her!

Baby Mylia

Mylia's older brother Max is 3...soon-to-be 4 and I love him to death. Max says the funniest things. I really enjoy talking to him and hearing everything he has to say. Before Mylia was born, I asked Max what he wanted to name his new baby sister. No thinking was required at all on this question. His answer. "STINKY!" The best part of it was he was so serious, but also was quick to add that only him & his grandpa wanted the babies to name to be Stinky and that his mom told him that was not a good name. She wanted to name the baby Mylia. Looks like Mom won :)

Last Wednesday Max informed me that his big sister Maddie doesn't come over anymore, because she is in first grade and she has to be at school ALLLLL Day Long, but that she comes home before it gets dark. The way he said it was so cute. He really emphasized the part about coming home before dark. Heaven forbid she stay at school when its night time.

He also is very cute with the new baby (who by the way, he sometimes still refers to as Stinky). Whenever Mylia cries Max is right their telling us exactly what to do, he always shows us how to rub her cheeks. And he's very cute, because he will start talking to her and telling her it is ok.

I can't wait til I get to play with Max and Mylia again!!! I also can't wait til I have nieces & nephews of my own to play with. (hint.hint.kevin&page.) I am always telling Tyler how lucky he is to have them, because his are so cute and so much fun to be around! His response is always, well if you like them so much, I'm sure my siblings will happily let you babysit :)

Friday was a FANTASTIC day, I got to watch my sister, Natalie dance. My mom & I went to her Homecoming Pep Assembly to watch. She looked so good and made me remember how much I loved Drill Team. After the assembly, I helped my little brother, who was home sick work on an autobiography that he is writing for school. He has a mac laptop he gets to bring home to do his homework on and had to include pictures for this story. His story was so funny to read, particularly the part who wrote about me. Tyler actually got more lines in his story than I did, that is because Tyler has a "cool" car. I didn't know cars were so important to 11 year olds. It was fun to help him find pictures to use for his story though. I also went to lunch with my mom at Kneaders and it was great to spend time with her. That night I got to watch Natalie dance a second time at their homecoming football game. Once again she did a great job and I am so proud of her. For a sophomore, she is sure kicking butt. Their football team lost as always, but the drill team is sure looking great! Love you Nattie!!!

Lehi Pionettes 09-10

This is the whole team. I had to steal this picture from facebook (hence the blurriness) so I will have to post mine that I have later, once i get a chance to download them!

Last but not least Sunday, I was able to go to my home ward and hear Nathan talk in the primary program. It was his very last one! He is really growing up. He did a great job, and brought tears to several eyes. His talk was about the plan of salvation and talked about the passing of our grandma 3 years ago. He did such an excellent job bringing the spirit into the meeting. Thanks Nate!

Also, props to my mom for Sunday dinner. It was good eating with everyone, including Page & Kevin again. It has been a while since I've gone home for dinner and was nice to visit with everyone. Love you all!
